November Sadness

Why do we feel sad during the November months? With Daylight Savings and the dropping temperatures, we'll look at a bit of the science behind why you might be feeling a bit gloomier that usual this time of year, and ways that you can prioritize your self-care and mental health during the difficult winter months. We'll also have a guest on the show talking about some mental health initiatives on Carleton's campus. Stay tuned! Here are the research articles that we have consulted for this episode: https://www.camh.ca/en/health-info/mental-illness-and-addiction-index/seasonal-affective-disorder https://cpa.ca/docs/File/Publications/FactSheets/PsychologyWorksFactSheet_SeasonalAffectiveDisorder.pdf https://ontariosuniversities.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/COU_Ensuring-a-Whole-of-Community-Approach-to-Mental-Health.pdf https://cmha.bc.ca/documents/seasonal-affective-disorder-2/ https://www.cmho.org/blog/blog-news/6519784-family-mental-wellness-tips-from-children-s-mental-health-ontario-for-the-holiday-season https://www.npr.org/2017/06/04/531051473/the-millennial-obsession-with-self-care https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/modern-mentality/201901/is-self-care-just-trend https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/10/style/self-care/when-did-self-help-become-self-care.html
